Everybody's Songs

Tatsuro Yamashita, Summer Wars ED
This song is so sweet and peaceful that it brings tears to my eyes.
Our Summer Dream
Lyrics: Tatsuro Yamashita
Composition: Tatsuro Yamashita
Strings Arrangement: Yuichiro Goto
Vocals: Tatsuro Yamashita
Our summer is over there,
On the other side of that hill.
Unchanging things,
Beautiful things -
All of them are there.
The sunflowers chase after
The sun’s position.
So intently that we can’t hear
Even the sound of the wind,
We gaze at each other.

Take your heart and add it to mine.
Fill it with drops of light.
If we firmly link our hands together,
A little miracle will be born.
I want you to believe me.
I can see into the future
When I look into your eyes
And see the blue of the sky
Reflected there.
Zero planes fly through the sky
From a faraway era.
That the two of us
Could meet each other here
Must have been fated to be.
Let’s go and follow
The thousands of memories of love.
I will protect you forever.
Our history begins here.
Oh, I wonder,
In which direction
Will fate go
From here?
Painted in the clouds
Is a white promise.
I’ll never forget.
Take your heart and add it to mine.
We’re seeing a summer dream.
If we firmly link our hands together,
A little miracle will be born.
Our miracle will be born.
A miracle of midsummer will…
(Mother of Summer)

Bokura no Natsu no Yume
Lyrics: Yamashita Tatsurou
Composition: Yamashita Tatsurou
Strings Arrangement: Gotou Yuuichirou
Ano oka no mukou ni
Bokura no natsu ga aru
Kawaranai mono
Utsukushii mono
Subete soko ni aru
Taiyou no yukue wo
Himawari ga oikakeru
Kaze no oto sae
Kikoenai hodo
Bokura wa mitsumeau
Kokoro to kokoro wo kasanete
Hikari no shizuku de mitashite
Te to te wo kataku musundara
Chiisana kiseki ga umareru
Shinjite hoshii nda
Mirai ga mieru nda
Kimi no hitomi ni
Sora no aosa ga
Utsuru sono tabi ni
Zerosen ga sora wo tobu
Haruka na jidai kara
Bokura ga koko de
Deaeru koto mo
Kitto kimatteta
Ikusen no ai no kioku wo
Bokura wa tadotte yukou yo
Tokoshie ni kimi wo mamoru yo
Bokura no rekishi ga hajimaru
Oh   unmei ga
Koko kara
Doko e to
Mukaou to
Kumo ni egaita
Shiroi yakusoku
Keshite wasurenai
Kokoro to kokoro wo kasanete
Bokura wa natsu no yume wo miru
Te to te wo kataku musundara
Chiisana kiseki ga umareru
Bokura no kiseki ga umareru
Manatsu no kiseki ga…

*I realize that everybody's have their song in my heart. Ini adalah Ending Theme dari film anime Summer Wars. Lagu ini mengingatkanku pada seorang teman yang kebetulan berkunjung ke kamar kost ku yang kecil sambil sama-sama menonton film animasi. Aku punya kebiasaan setiap kali menemukan lagu baru, selalu ingin dengan sengaja memperdengarkannya ke temanku. Mungkin maksudnya mau 'pamer'. Namun kusadari setiap lagu yang kuperdengarkan ke mereka menjadi melodi pengingatku pada mereka. Jadi setiap kali aku mendengar sebuah lagu ada saja kenangan bersama mereka terlintas. Mungkin aku akan lupa wajah kalian, bahkan aku lupa nama kalian... Namun setiap lagu kenangan, akan selalu mengingatkanku akan keberadaan kalian dalam history kehidupanku... So farewell but not goodbye everyone...
